LisaB, I am not Gary. However, I had enough swelling that I thought I looked like Elephant Man. A therapist showed me how to work on it and it was amazingly successful.

With two fingers, rub gently in a circular motion in one spot, then move slightly to another spot. I did this while reading, in the car, watching television, and the result was impressive. Just remember, do not press hard.

Hi Gary if possible; can you ask your wife to check out this list of Massage Therapist here in Toronto and let me know what she thinks; because they don't have MLD next to their names.
